BAGS ARE PACKED OFF TO STANSTED IN THE MORNING HOPE THEY HAVE ELECTRICITY THERE

I got a claim from some Egyptian person ref a Google search which picked up them using my film in 1997 in Cairo. He is counterclaiming against me, not a big issue as it is only the second time in decades this has happened but the last one was in Indonesia and 99% of all claims against theft of material come from Asia where copyright is scorned. Anyway I've taken the clip down so they can't steal it again and as you may know I now watermark our films but now show them in full, clean copies in HD are just £9 sent by dropbox worldwide. Happy they liked it so much they wanted to steal it, perhaps if they had asked I'd have let them use the 2 minutes they used.

Well we are all packed and ready to go. The tooth situation is ongoing now on antibiotic course to fight the cyst which must still be there, only getting occasional pain and have pain killers etc.  We shared our second cake with the folk at St Wilfrids after morning service. We've done everything I can think of and even completed yet another of Dave Coles films from early 90's this one being Berlin and surrounding systems. It has come out very well cleaned up with NEAT and in HD. If everyone used NEAT editing old material there would be 100 software scammers out of a business altogether, all that glistens and is cheap doesn't usually do the job. Anyway I was looking at more still images to put on films and have many options. For Manchester area it seems in have 10k images for instance. We can pick up on that in July. Meanwhile I discovered shots miss filed and some interesting ones at that. How about these

Taken about 1980 at Eastbourne, proof if any needed that my interests in trucks goes back a while

like the Foden this was filed with Sri Lanka shots, don't the old negatives give a good image.

I got to Sri Lanka in 1980 the first long haul trip we did together, well 50 years of roaming under the belt, steam in Sri Lanka was near its end hopefully Mandy and I still have a few miles on the clock to go.
